    Lowko, you missed the second biggest reason Hero won. Once he knocked Trap's economy to the stone age, he attacked only pylons. Trap's max supply fell far below his current supply so he couldn't make new probes. He had to make pylons first, and a lot of them.

    The one way to throw away your lead in PvP is to not have enough observers and scouting.
    Despite a humongous lead and air superiority, Trap still decided to play blind the entire time.
    He caused his own loss.

      @lucifer6966 4 года назад

      I mean, we missed 90% of the strategy. The dt's targeted the robo, the probes, then the pylons. It's not that Trap didn't make units or observer but that he couldn't make anything until he made pylons. He's lucky he still had a couple probes or else it was insta gg then (watch his income).
      This is the main trade off for super aggressive pressure. He was too busy watching his opponent and neglected the extra observer.

  • @walterengler5709
    @walterengler5709 4 года назад

    Basically a lesson for any player. When playing against someone who can have units like Dark Templars or other items you have difficulty detecting you need to have something at all times in your main bases to aid in detection. This failure left his probes open for attack. And once the they attacked the pylons as well he could not rebuild pylons fast enough to get to the point of rebuilding probes stalling his economy. The lack of one extra detection unit spelled total defeat.

    Having such a large amount of phoenixes, one would think the opponent would invest into additional photon cannons to deter worker harass. Quite frankly, 300 mineral investment for a couple more photon cannons would pay for itself quite quickly, you only need to lose 6 probes for the not building 2 additional photon cannons option to be more costly in the long run.

    Still felt that if Trap was a little more patient, he could have recovered. He had hero badly pinned to 2 bases and hero never wanted to try to protect his 3rd any better. He just needed to keep the contain and slowly rebuild his economy. Forcing that last fight ultimately cost him the game.
